Well, that was a waste of time

[sfreeman8]

I qualified for a survey by answering the qualifying questions. They said it would take 25 minutes. I answered the questions truthfully and took my time. At the 20 minute mark, I was DQ'D!  There went the 70 cents.

And this is why I hate to even try surveys on this site. They all seem to kick me out AFTER I qualify and answer  almost all the questions.  It's a bunch of bull. These companies are disgusting anymore.

How I wish I could find a REAL job.

It is not just this site.  I am on several sites and I have had problems with surveys on other sites as well as this one. I have learned to just blow it off but I have other money coming in.

I try not to take long surveys any longer.  If I do not get paid after taking a 10 minute survey. I am not as disappointed, frustrated and angry as if I spent 20 minutes or longer taking a survey.

I am really unhappy when I complete an entire survey, submit and get a message that I am not qualified for the survey after I already completed it.

I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me today. I actually completed the survey and they thanked me. Then I was DQ'd

[rwhite17]

it's happened to all of us... it's not an FC issue but the survey companies... I still take surveys but limit how long I take them so if I don't credited I haven't wasted as much time

I don't even attempt surveys that are that long - not worth the time! I know 70 cents is 70 cents, but I'd rather run videos in the background all day long or do the Tap surveys.

After posting a reply, I went to a different site, took a survey and at the very end, there was a Oh, No, there is a glitch.  However, I think that I did get credit for the survey. Not 100% certain but I think so.

I have noticed that the most difficult, complicated, boring and really long surveys are often the ones that do not pay. Maybe that is just coincidence but that has been my experience. The short and sweet ones always seem to credit.

That's infuriating, I've had that happen before. Most of the time I never even got that far. I don't bother with them anymore unless I'm behind on cash out.

I hear you, that is so very annoying.  I believe everyone who takes part in survey panels sooner or later runs into the same frustration that you experienced.  I'm sorry about your disappointment. 

I see that your are quite active on Business Card Transcription.  How is that working out for you?  How does it compare to other offers on FC?

If it happens every other week say2 0r 3 times a month OK. More then that bad.taking them on a Tablet not working so will have to go to the pc but feel lazy right now.

[davissy]

I feel your pain, it's so annoying when that happens.  And the DQ bonus doesn't even count for PTC!

[surveygrabber]

This happened to me before. I completed a 30 min survey and as soon I completed it, I was disqualified with a DQ bonus.

This isn't a site that will cover your bills, just try to cash out every month.

I used to cash out on this site with ease, now it's becoming more and more difficult. I don't even know if I'll cash out this time around (or maybe even next month). Nonetheless, it has to be frustrating to get kicked out of a survey when you're almost done with it.

[renee10]

This is why I try to avoid the longer surveys. I have been there and it is frustrating after all that time that was spent on it.

But figuring out what the surveys length is ahead of time is a joke,  the survey is never what you clicked on and if they give you a time it is way underestimated and you don't want "to rush" or you get dq so you find yourself at 20 min and figure you invested this much time you might as well finish it out and then you get dq.  short quick and reliable would be nice.
